Description

Take a journey with Ingrid the penguin as she ventures from her home in Antarctica in search of a mythic place where it's said a penguin can learn to fly.

On the advice of some seriously lost pigeons, our young protagonist sets out determined to accomplish something never imagined before for a penguin. Along the way we meet some surprising and colorful characters, making this a truly engaging adventure about chasing a dream. The mystery of Ingrid's destination holds the answers as this little penguin is on the verge of a discovery that could rock the penguin world.

Reviews
"A Penguin's Quest, is all about believing and the determination to follow a dream no matter how difficult it might appear. This story will enthrall young readers of all ages ... a powerful and engaging story that will both teach and entertain. Loved it." -- Emily-Jane Hills Orford / Readers Favorite 5 Stars
"An adorable story that made me feel like a child again with its cute and funny choice of language, like "penguin traffic" and "Ms. Penguin Lady" ... entertaining, motivational, and educational, A Penguin's Quest is highly recommended for your children. It's easy to love this endearing picture book!" -- Foluso Falaye / Readers Favorite 5 Stars
"Engaging, with deft characterization and low-key humor ... there is just enough impossibility to keep the reader's disbelief suspended ... rich in interest, information, and life lessons, leavened with wonder ... the second-best thing about this book is the fine balance of its elements. The best thing about it is the ending. I recommend to anyone who knows a curious child -- or just likes penguins and enjoys a good story." -- Francis Mont / Readers Favorite 5 Stars

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
